it is often divided into sections of the spine on vertebrates - the more you know

Thanks for the anatomy lesson. I mean that in earnest. (I had to look it up, too.) People use "thoracic cavity" when writing about human anatomy, but for whatever reason "thorax" makes me think of arthropods.

Given that the guy died in a trash compactor, there may have been arthropods involved as byscurriers. Good luck identifying their thoraxes though...

strangeluck:Ahem, subby. This story doesn't have everything, you're missing the gay 80 year old male stripper dressed as the pope while roller skating, wearing an oversized nolvety diaper, and playing a banjo.

Plus no Blonde bimbos assaulting eachother with cheese wiz and pixie sticks? The story is far from having everything, subby.

I find it hard to take that offense very seriously. And once I die all my stuff is up for grabs.

The good stuff is long gone anyway, lost by my sister or thrown out by my old girlfriend's father back in the '90s.

I do have an awful lot of PDFs from JSTOR. About 90 GB worth. It's called "hoarding." My favorites are "The Origin of Kalam" and "How Caviar Became Halal." There's a piece here somewhere about the Shu'ubiyyah too. But it's all on 10 year old ATA/IDE hard drives, along with my secret plans to blow up Mordor. (Hint: think "dairy products.")

Would not surprise me if it turns out she "helped" him into the compactor. Seems rather quick for the news to have spread and her to loot. Guy dies, cops head over to his place and she already has a bag full of stuff.
